Update - Oscar just loves routine. He has ours down pat.  We all wake up together every morning around 6:30am to go potty and then eat breakfast. Then about 20 minutes later we all go outside again to potty once more and a few minutes of wrestling with his foster sister before it's back to bed for the dogs when mom goes to work. Oscar sleeps most of the morning and then goes outside and plays around lunch time.

Playing fetch is his favorite! He usually then eats a bone and sleeps more until about 4:30 when it's back outside for a walk and more play time!

If Oscar exercised a lot then he will eat again around 7pm. Back outside at 9pm and then again at 11pm- then it's time for bed. Oscar is a dog that thrives on routine and structure each and every day. If you to thrive on routine and can provide this for this great dog, please fill out the AABR application, and tell us that Oscar is the one for you!

Update - Oscar is growing into a more wonderful, obedient boy every day. He wakes up each morning ready to meet the world head-on. Taking a walk, eating and then playing are his major joys in life. He's a very happy-go-lucky boxer boy that would do well in just about any home. Since he's so darn cute it can be hard to enforce rules without cracking a smile or laughing a bit!! But since Oscar is still learning how to be a polite boy it is necessary that his fur-ever home continue with his "education" as we have done. This means following the Nothing In Life Is Free (NILIF)  program and supervising Oscar at all times when in the home and outside. With consistency he will be the PERFECT dog very soon. Fill out that application for him today!

Update - Oscar was a hit at the adoption day at Spot's in Narberth, PA. He met many boxer lovers and many other dogs and had a blast making new friends. He did especially well with small children- at one point he had 3 little girls surrounding him on the ground and he just laid there while they pet him all over! He would love a family with kids and another dog- but because he was a stray, we will be looking for a home with older kids. 

This boy would fit in anywhere as long as he is loved. Oscar has no behavioral issues and is just waiting for a family as wonderful as he is to scoop him up! Be the lucky person to take Oscar home!

Update - I brought Oscar into my home last night and he has been great. He really likes my female boxer and is very interested in the cats. He listens quite well and does not mouth or chew anything inappropriate. He's very affectionate and playful. This boy requires at least one long walk every day and a nice yard to romp around in to get his energy out. That way he's nice and calm in the house. Oscar is in "boot camp" right now, meaning his every move is being controlled by the humans in the house so he understands quickly who is boss and what is appropriate behavior. It seems to me no one ever gave Oscar boundaries and rules, but he seems to like the structure and rules. He is an easy student! He will make a great dog for just about anyone, as long as you like to walk and play as much as he does!

Oscar is still waiting for a loving home to call his own. He continues to be a good boy at the kennel. Lori had him out on a walk with her female, he was very excited but calmed down quickly and they went on a nice walk together. If your looking for a fun loving boy that would like nothing more than to be by your side, Oscars the one for you. please won't you consider fostering or adopting this handsome boy?

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, then fill out an online application.

Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come, first served basis. Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Matching Boxers suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review time and adoption time.  

And yes, we realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, we want you to advise us as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  Or let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a Boxer.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
